When it's time, and when I have the money, years from now, I'll be either doing a black repaint, or black and metallic silver/gray. EDIT: Holy CRAPZORS! We registered on the same day! We're like brothers now... I love you. EDIT: I take that back, but it is a funny coincidence.

Shadowed areas will appear black and areas under direct lighting will shine blue. Sections of the car under amient light will carry varring shades of blues... Did the self-fabricated shift knob and console of my old Sunbird like this. Absolutely loved the effect.

But this 2-tone (you wouldn't have to paint the jambs & it would still look good) w/ a mustang blue or some other slightly darker blue (but bright) would look sweet...use a charcoal pinstripe between the colors It would complete the car w/ the blue interior. Paint your grill & rear chrome black also (or blue ). What was the blue on the tours? Moonlight or something? 1999 Sportage 4x4...don't go there, it was free ....______o_o .../_l l__\____\ ..\|--l l__----[]\\|/[] .....................oo =( )_)----( )_)--)_)

I wanted to do something like that when i had my black CSVT and always wondered what it would really look like. Maybe even a photochop? And possibly what it would look like on a silver CSVT. Just trying to collect ideas of what i might want to do when i become rich enough to support a small country. 2000 Ford Contour SVT-t GT28R - 287whp/314wtq @ 11 psi (very little tuning) Cardomain Page Photobucket Page Formally XxColdAzFireXx

I like it but the longer i look at it the more i dislike it. ive been thinking about something like starting at the back of the front door and going up at a angle to the start of the trunk but ive never seen a pic. 98 CSVT droped on 17x8 tsw rims w/kuhmo 225/45/17 svt badges on fenders svt ovals frnt&rear st200 badges rear lower door painted calipers,reflector,chrome oval short ram intake pioneer deh-960 mbquart seperates PG octaneR 4ch

Switched over to the Contour before anyone I knew had a digital camera or a scanner, so I never took any. However, my 'tour is going in this winter for a repaint, and I've been toying with the idea of having the blue clear and sliver base done on it. If it happens I'll be sure to get pics of it.
